  • Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games
    FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 11.2 (SEP. 2018) 30-43 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research “In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!” Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games EUGEN PFISTER (HOCHSCHULE DER KÜNSTE BERN) Abstract From its beginning, colonialism had to be legitimized in Western Europe through cultural and political narratives and imagery, for example in early modern travel reports and engravings. Images and tales of the exotic Caribbean, of beautiful but dangerous „natives“, of unbelievable fortunes and adventures inspired numerous generations of young men to leave for the „new worlds“ and those left behind to support the project. An interesting figure in this set of imaginations in North- Western Europe was the “pirate”: poems, plays, novels and illustrations of dashing young rogues, helping their nation to claim their rightful share of the „Seven Seas“ achieved major successes in France, Britain the Netherlands and beyond. These images – regardless of how far they might have been from their historical inspiration – were immensely successful and are still an integral and popular part of our narrative repertoire: from novels to movies to video games. It is important to note that the “story” was – from the 18th century onwards –almost always the same: a young (often aristocratic) man, unfairly convicted for a crime he didn’t commit became an hors-la-loi against his will but still adhered to his own strict code of conduct and honour. By rescuing a city/ colony/princess he redeemed himself and could be reintegrated into society. Here lies the morale of the story: these imaginations functioned also as acts of political communication, teaching “social discipline”.

White Pearl is my first ever game project, and admittedly over-ambitious, wouldn’t you agree? While I think the reviews do a good enough job of explains the positives and negatives of the game, sometimes I look back on the game and think “I wish I did this!”. But game development is very difficult. You must work in a certain amount of time and restrictions to get anything done, which is why this game exists in the first place. If I kept asking myself questions and trying to change things here and there, this game would have never been released.

  • Silicon Studio “CEDEC 2020” to Announce Their New Global Illumination Approach “Hybrid Global Illumination Technology with Real-Time Ray Tracing and Enlighten”
    PRESS RELEASE Media Contact [email protected] |+81 (0)3 5488 7070 Silicon Studio “CEDEC 2020” to announce their new global illumination approach “Hybrid global illumination technology with real-time Ray Tracing and Enlighten” Tokyo, Japan, (Aug. 7, 2020) – Silicon Studio Corporation, middleware and technology developer, focusing on entertainment, automotive, video, architecture and other industries, announced their intention to present at the upcoming “Computer Entertainment Developers Conference (CEDEC2020)” online, September 2nd through 4th, and to discuss their new global illumination approach, which integrates Enlighten with real-time Ray Tracing, at their special sponsored session . CEDEC is a conference event for computer entertainment contents developers, featuring games. This year, due to the current COVID-19 epidemiological situation around the world, the physical conference has been canceled, and the event moved to online. Silicon Studio will discuss their new global illumination (GI) approach, which combines Enlighten with real time Ray Tracing technology, at their sponsored session under the session title of “Hybrid global illumination technology with real-time Ray Tracing and Enlighten”. Ray Tracing is a technique for photorealistic CG rendering by simulating refraction and reflection of light from light and other sources in accordance with the laws of physics. This technique has attracted considerable attention thanks to strengthened GPU and architectural CG advancement. However, a large number of rays needs to be projected repeatedly to ensure high quality GI if creators adopt Ray Tracing only. Gaming requires highly interactive environments, where sufficient computation can be difficult to achieve even using the latest powerful GPU cards. Therefore, Silicon Studio has been researching for a reasonable way to render photorealistic imagery by using Enlighten and real time Ray Tracing and has developed a hybrid global illumination method.

  • The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices
    The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices «A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan» Marita Eriksen Haugland Master’s thesis in Nordic Media Department of Media and Communication THE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Fall 2018 The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices «A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan» Marita Eriksen Haugland Master’s thesis in Nordic Media II Department of Media and Communication THE UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Fall 2018 III © Marita Eriksen Haugland 2018 The Cultural Aspect of Video Game Regulation Practices: A comparative study of the differences in video game rating practices between Europe and Japan Marita Eriksen Haugland http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract Video games have become a large part of media consumption, both for adults and children. This study contributes to the field of children and media by looking into the perceptions and construction of risk by self-regulatory organizations, as well as into self-regulatory effectiveness. The thesis also discusses the struggle and the compromises between child safety, cultural differences and freedom of expression. It takes up the question of how the cultural differences affect the age ratings and content descriptors. All video games rated in Europe and Japan between 2010-2016 are analyzed to show the differences between the regions. Also, content analyses are performed on 24 video games with emblematic differences in age ratings or content descriptors. The findings suggest that cultural differences in how the two systems view crime, non-realistic violence, realistic blood, non-sexual nudity, romantic behavior, and sexualized behavior is responsible for some of the differences in age ratings and content descriptors.

  • Week 2: Game Theory // History & Origins // Industry Stats
    NMED 3300(A) // Theory and Aesthetics of Digital Games Friday Genre Discussions / Play Sessions Schedule, Spring 2016 Mondays and Wednesdays will consist of lectures. Fridays will be broken into two sessions. The first will take place in W866 where we will discuss particular genres and look at select examples. The second session will take place in W560 and will consist of hands-on gameplay (1 hour) of the games covered earlier in class. Some Rules for W560 Usage: 1. Please be considerate of others in the lab and those working in adjacent offices/classrooms by keeping noise to a minimum, 2. Please note that food and drink are not allowed in W560, except water if it is contained in a non-spillable container (with a screw-top or sealable cap) 3. Only students with official access are allowed in these labs (you cannot bring friends into the lab, sorry), 4. Please be gentle with equipment, consoles, and peripherals as a lot of the equipment is David’s personal property and much of the equipment is old and getting more difficult (if not impossible) to replace. 5. Finally, do not leave discs in consoles and make sure consoles and televisions are turned off when you are finished and that the area where you were working is clean and tidy. Notes on Gameplay Sessions in W560: Please keep the volume of the monitors and verbalizations to a minimum. Have a look at each of the games listed for that week’s gameplay sessions by consulting reviews/criticism, gameplay video, screenshots. As many games are released on multiple platforms and are often emulated, make sure you are viewing information for the correct version (platform, year).
